Chapter Eight

               Jay shifted uneasily from one foot to the

            other. Hands on hips he waited for Ella’s

            answer.

               “Well?” Jay could wait no longer. “What

            er…what have you…what have you decided?”

            he asked.

               Ella’s serious look turned into a smile.

               “It’s okay!” she said. “We’ve decided that

            you can’t possibly keep wandering about on

            your own. It’s not safe. We might not know

            much about you, but...”

               “We don’t know anything about him,” Binny

            broke in.

               “BUT” said Ella, “we’ve all agreed. Jay, you

            can travel with us.”

               “Oh!” Jay let out a sigh of relief. “Thanks!”


                                                                        78
